It was actually Damon. He and Jim were friends doing standup in LA. When they were casting for in living color they needed one more and Damon said to his brother "i have this friend named Jim" the rest is history
I remember one year at Christmas I was unwrapping presents and I got one gift that said "From: Homey Claus". At the time I still believed in Santa so I actually thought Homey Claus was travelling around with Santa, leaving his own presents under Christmas trees. Turned out it was just my dad's lame sense of humor lol.
My god, that was one of the funniest comedy sketches I've seen, my body and face is aching from laughter! 😂 Compton Carlotta, smashing an ice cream on Tommy Davidson's head "dignity is the opposite a' that!", an "observatory" off David Alan Grier, making him see "stars", and whacking Kelly for caterwauling after the song had finished. 😂🤣They must have had to do a few takes of this, due to all the laughter! And to top it off, Homey delivered an important life lesson too, "That's the same thing your dumbass gets out of a gang, NOTHIN'!" This show is just something else, timeless stuff.
Tommy What’s dignity? 🤣🤣🤣 Homie: here let me show ya Ice cream & Bop Homie: See how you feel right now? Tommy: Yeah Homie: Well dignity is the opposite of dat. Homie don’t play dat 😂😂😂
Lmao first time I watched this, I actually thought homey was going to have a moment but then he told the kid “you’re not moving fast enough” 😂 no kid is melting his heart
Easily the most memorbale "Homey the Clown" segment! My friends and I had some fun at a Star Trek convention retelling a "Worfy the Klown" sketch cos Michael Dorn (the actor who played Worf) was a guest. We had a script, enough of us to play different parts. I wore a combo of a Klingon sash w/ red/green/black pompoms; clown shoes; security color uniform; and a head piece w/a Klingon ridge plate and red clown wig. It was a secret to all in the costume show, I had to wear a paper bag over my head while waiting to go onstage. (gotta suffer for your art sometimes). The entrance began w/ a head bop and the line: "Halt! Who the hell goes there?" The auditorium went nuts, delyaing the skit. Michael Dorn was sitting at the judges table, facepalmed. I walked over to him and said: "You know I'm doing this for your benefit." He nodded, sketch went on w/o a hitch. Good times.
